Conference Attendance Justification Help

Is your boss giving you a hard time about attending a conference?
Let us know. Rick Schummer is willing to talk to or email each and every
one of them to help you get the okay to head to any development conference.
He is totally serious. Rick has fought numerous times with former bosses
to get himself as well as teammates to a conference. He has a way of
getting them to see the light!

In addition to Rick's help, here are some things you can tell your boss:

The speakers are mostly independent consultants and provide training
and know-how on issues from real projects. As a result, this conference
provides training I cannot get any other way.

The industry is evolving so fast that it's hard to follow and the
only way I can stay up-to-date is to attend a conference every year.

By the time I find the time to read books, they're obsolete.
Conferences save time by catching me up on important areas of interest in
the industry.

Conferences typically cause me to think outside the box and see
techniques, tricks, and technologies that normally aren't covered in
training classes.
